Flying Whenever you cast a Spirit or Arcane spell, you may gain life equal to that spell's mana value.

Even the most benevolent and life-giving of kami joined the war against the mortal world, but only with heavy and sorrowful hearts.

Rulings (1)

If the Spirit or Arcane spell has X generic mana in the mana cost, then you use the value of X generic mana on the stack. For example, Shining Shoal costs X generic mana white mana white mana . If you choose X = 2, then Shining Shoal’s mana value is 4. Shining Shoal also has an ability that says “You may exile a white card with mana value X from your hand rather than pay Shining Shoal’s mana cost”; if you choose to pay the alternative cost and exile a card with mana value 2, then X is 2 while Shining Shoal is on the stack and its mana value is 4.
